You take the TV remote and tape it to the bars.  Then you can vary the spring preload settings with the volume control, and the damping by changing channels.

:rofl:

1.Ride into the the middle of the biggest desert you can find then....... :crazy:

2.In area 51 in an above top secret deep underground military base laboratory, a psychic dude messes with your supention with the power of his mind. :shok:

3.An optional metal cylinder that attach's to your aftermarket rear shock via a braided hose that has and adjustment knob on the end.When the knob is adjusted it increases or decreases the hydraulic pressure or "preload"in your shock,having a similar effect to tightening or loosening the spring preload giving the rider the ability to adjust the "stiffness" of the shock without the need of tools for varying riding conditions and/or load. :yes:

Cheers :drinks:

Ok, I'll play your silly game....

Low rpm (as long as not lugging) and high gear will give less wear on engine parts, and greater fuel economy.

High rpm (without exceeding redline) and low gear will give greater immediate response to throttle position changes, and create much more noise.

Which is "better" for the bike depends on which set of criteria you choose to value.
